Phyllis Holton
Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities Deputy Director
Washington, District of Columbia
Phyllis Holton is a passionate disability leader working with self-advocates to be the "Leaders and Change Agents" that they are. Â I work with Project ACTION!, a self-advocacy coalition of over 125 adults with disabilities in the Washington-metropolitan region. Â I work for Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities, an independent, non-profit advocacy organization headquartered in the District of Columbia. Â We are committed to identifying ways for people with developmental disabilities to be safe, respected, and connected within their communities. Â We work with individuals and family members to solve problems, identify opportunities for learning and contribution and find creative ways to minimize "differences" and make the most of each person's abilities. Â We provide training and technical support that makes a lasting impact for self-advocates, disability professionals, and family members.
